Next event: AUGUST 15th
Summer in Westport. Fresh corn, ripe juicy tomatoes, squash, potatoes, greens, herbs and fruit ready for the picking. Here in South Coastal Massachusetts we are blessed to have so much available in our own backyard. Food that is grown to taste great, not to survive a truck trip across the country.
Join us on Friday August 15th for a ‘5 Mile Dinner’ at Long Acre House. Mike Melo of M&C Restaurant in New Bedford has created a menu of shellfish, free range chicken, squash, potatoes, greens, herbs, fruit, and even the cheese all sourced from within 5 miles of Westport Rivers Vineyard.

Call ahead for tickets at 508-636-3423 ext 2 or buy them online at our webstore
Coastal New England is at its most spectacular in mid August. As always we will start at 5:00 with an in-depth tour of the vineyard and winery to learn about the centuries old method for producing ‘Traditional Method’ sparkling wines. We will then return to Long Acre House to enjoy some of Westport Rivers food friendly wines chosen to compliment Mike Melo’s local gastronomic creations. Part of the tour is outside so please dress comfortably.

Since the founding of Westport Rivers Vineyard & Winery in 1982, Bob and Carol Russell have been in the forefront promoting the preservation of local farms and the valuable resources they provide to the whole community. Good stewardship and management practices are necessary to maintain the sustainability of the natural bounty in South Coastal Mass. Along the way we have been fortunate to work with people like Sarah Kelly and Sarah Cogswell of SEMAP at UMass who are tireless in promoting the local farms through their ‘Buy Fresh Buy Local’ campaign. We have also seen what a great catalyst the Edible Cape Cod, Boston, and Rhody magazines have been for the local food movement in nearby areas.
Join us on Saturday October 4, 2008 as we host a fund raiser for SEMAP under the tent at Westport Rivers Vineyard & Winery from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. We also welcome the edible communities of Cape Cod, Boston and Rhody as we tastefully celebrate our newest edible in New England: Edible South Shore.
